The significant decline in the concentration of these constituents in the liver of spirulina
co-treated rats indicates the anti-lipid peroxidative effect of spirulina.
Antioxidant property of spirulina has been reported by earlier work done by Reddy et al. (2000).
Its antioxidant property may be due to the presence of C-phycocyanin in spirulina.
It effectively inhibited polydimethyl cyclosiloxane induced lipid peroxidation in rat liver in vivo.
